Hi all, I have a question regarding creating lists in wikimedia. I wonder if it is possible to have multiline <pre></pre> elements inside your list, without messing up the content inside the <pre>-tag or the list's layout. I would be grateful for any pointers to more information on how to incorporate multiline <pre>-elements into wikimedia-lists Any multiline <pre></pre> element will not be rendered very nicely, as is shown in this example: # first item # second item #: <code><pre>one multiline comment</pre></code> # third item will render as: 1. first item 2. second item one multiline comment 1. third item # list starts anew here. Is there any way to contain the line-breaks in a <pre></pre> elements, without messing up the list's layout/numbering? thanks, Bram _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list MediaWiki-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org http://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l

Actually not always, it appears there may be a "variance" in whether mediaWiki interprets the start="n" tag, if there is an interspersed <pre> element. Consider this which renders correctly in a Wikipage as well as in a browser: <ol> <li>one </ol> <ol start="3"> <li>three </ol> Produces: 1. one 3. three However inserting a <pre> element ... <ol> <li>one </ol> <pre>text</pre> <ol start="3"> <li>three </ol> ... produces the following way in a Wikipage: 1. one text 1. three ... but is correct in a browser: 1. one text 3. three However this works in a Wikipage: <ol><li>one</li></ol> <pre>text</pre> <ol start="3"><li>three</li></ol> Whereas this does not: <ol> <li>one</li> </ol> <pre>text</pre> <ol start="3"> <li>three</li> </ol> Bottom line - one may get it to work but either my <ol> syntax is flawed or there is a bug in the code.
